Hey! Former astronomer here; I used to work a lot with SDSS data products. Do you happen to have a link to any sort of photometry DB/catalog for Rubin? Basically I’m looking to grab a ton of data but I’ve been out of the field for a wh

For my demos I've been running 3 minute sessions but I'm planning to run 30-60 minute sessions depending on the scenario. I want to see people push the boundary of what can be done in an hour (with an agent or without, it's u

It is already very plausible (and has been since the 1950s) without the advent of LLMs. This is just another layer on top of the preexisting and very plausible existential threats we already face.

I run my own temporal service in my k8s cluster; this setup is the backbone for almost all my applications. For simplicity, I opted for the postgres backend. You still need to run the 4 (?) other service (history, matching, frontend, ui, ma

They made a big point of explicitly advertising this as a feature with the GPT-5 rollout, no? Routing to cheaper models/less reasoning depending on the input prompt.

Exactly! It must be exhausting to have this huge preoccupation with determining if something has come from an LLM or not. Just judge the content on it's own merits! Just because an LLM was involved doesn't mean the underlying idea

You could make the case uv falls in this category (I just prefix all my pip commands with uv) though we have yet to see if astral will become a "successful business"; I'm hoping they pull it off.

There was a post on HN a few weeks ago about natalie.sh replacing blog comments with Bluesky threads. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44826164 I was inspired by that and wrote up my experience integrating with my Hugo

People keep citing this study (and it was on the top of HN for a day). But this claim falls flat when you find out that the test subjects had effectively no experience with LLM equipped editors and the 1-2 people in the study that actually

I should have said “traditional ads” but yes you’re right. Product placement is one of many use cases. You could also sponsor bounties with more general requirements in order to drive engagement in a particular sector, or incentivize commen

One very simple use case is making repetitive edits to a YAML (or similar) file. Sure, I can record a vim macro and/or try and conjure up some way to get it done with as few keystrokes as possible and hope I don’t fat finger anything a

I’ve implemented Temporal activities that pull content for each supported platform/content type and then feed that into an LLM with the bounty requirements. It’s not very elegant but for an MVP it seems fine. Now that tool calls and st

This has been my take, and maybe I'm missing something, but my thinking has been that in an ideal case there's an existing API with an OpenAPI spec you can just wrap with your FastMCP instantiation. This seemed neat, but while I

Not in my experience; I think I gave up and opted for mitmproxy which works but is not this easy/seamless.

I totally agree. My counterpoint is that this tool is the equivalent of portable stair lift. Yes, it may hinder me from developing the ability to walk up the stairs, but I'm fine with that. The only thing that matters is that I get up

In this vein, do you know what the experience has been like for users that use the vim vscode plugin? I see that it's trivial to carry over extensions and whatnot, but is the experience still "good" trying to use both?

Honestly that doesn't seem _that_ bad to me. It's a reasonable way of saying "hey, you're going off the happy path for this product and doing so at your own risk". This is an interesting gray area of consumer/h
